I have not seen email on the evaluation of the  Wings produced on the
new DUI BCD - do they get an endorsement from the WKPP ??

What about Brownies Wings?     15lb         30lb        50lb

As a person wanting to do it right (but maybe not having the "Right
amount of disposable cash"), it is necessary to do this incrementally.
This also helps in building proficiency with the equipment under
different configurations and understanding the equipment in those
varying conditions.  I dive wet in Northern California - but due to some
travel - I get to Florida, Mexico etc a few times a year -  then I dive
with skins or 3MM.  

I have the Brownie backplate  - I presently dive wet (the money issue)
with mostly singles (8 to 1) in comparison to the use of  doubles.  What
is the best wing configuration that will be least expensive to configure
when I can go dry??  

My present usage of singles is usually classes  at 120fsw or less - open
ocean.  My use of doubles is no deeper than 200 fsw.  Awaiting the money
to get the dry suit and the appropriate training plus experience.  I
love wreck penetration.  I would love more cave time, however, there is
little to none that I know about in the Northern CA area.  I am hoping
to make Akumal for a vacation this summer and get some time in the caves
there.  I am cave certified and have maybe 20 additional recreational
dives in Florida  (a great and helpful community).  

Note:  I just got married - hope this doesn't hurt the chance to get the
scooter.  

Thanks in advance to the response - You may respond directly to my Email
if you wish.

Ken
